To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN S. EBERT, of thecity, county, and State of New York, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Stilts,

which consists in the peculiar manner by which the foot-rest is madeadjustable and affixed at any desired height, all of which is clearlyset below upward, While the ends of the ferrule which form the vtenonare made tapering in the reverse direction in such a manner that thefoot-rest wedges down on the ferrule, whereby the fer-rule is clampedtight around sta' a at any desired height.

I claim- An adjustable stilt, consisting of the ootrest b, provided witha tapering groove and open ferrule, c, the ends forming a tapered tenoncorresponding to said groove, in conibination with staff a,substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
